[sci.med.aids] Molecular Biology vs. AIDS Genome

enigma@neuro.usc.edu (12/11/90)

So, why doesn't someone use modern molecular biology techniques to create
a nice little "beasty" that infects every cell in the body and "snips out"
some sequestered genetic material essential for propagation of the virus?

This question may seem somewhat naive -- however, given the miracles which
can be accomplished in the molecular biology lab, how much more difficult
would it be to accomplish this goal in the living human body?
